RE: ACM Module

I wonder if these significant improvements are due to the fact the Invensys owns Triconex. I sure wish Invensys would buy Allen Bradley. Chad Airhart Instrument, Electrical & Control Systems Engineer Equistar Chemicals, LP. Victoria, TX Wk. (361) 572-2568 Pgr. (361) 270-2214 alpha messaging at

RE: ACM Module

V4.3 and V6.1 are identical except for a trailer disk that contains the appropriate initial displays. The other difference is that the V4.3 SysDef does not include NT stations while the V6.1 SysDef does. There have been memos issued by the head of CSC (John Eva) to that effect. Regards, Alex

RE: ACM Module

The document is exactly what we were looking for Alex. Thanks a lot. One question. The document references the use of the ACM with 6.0 and 6.1 explicitly. Does it work the same with 4.3? Chad Airhart Instrument, Electrical & Control Systems Engineer Equistar Chemicals, LP. Victoria, TX Wk. (3

RE: ACM Module

Okay, I'm back with my head on a little straighter. Re: (FoxGuard Manager) ACM Sizing Information The ACM document is B0193VK Rev E. The one on FoxDoc is Rev D. The Rev E edition has a significant amount of sizing information. It details the amount of available RAM, the size of the blocks, t

When I mess up, I do it gloriously. I wrote about the ABS not the ACM. Sorry about that. I'll be back with ACM information. (Is my face red? Oh, yeah.) Regards, Alex Johnson 10707 Haddington Houston, TX 77043 713.722.2859 (office) 713.722.2700 (switchboard) 713.932.0222 (fax) [EMAIL PROTECTE

RE: ACM Module

Yeah, maybe twice, because I think he was looking for Triconex interface info, not Allen-Bradley ;-) Corey "Johnson, Alex (Foxboro)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 05/16/2001 11:57:21 AM Please respond to Foxboro DCS Mail List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Foxboro DCS Mail List mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Open-loop detection on analog output cards

Yes, but it would be much cleaner if it were just part of the AO FBM's onboard diagnostics. I would even settle for a single A/D for all output channels, multiplexed between them on a 5 or 10 second cycle, if circuitry or PC board space is an issue. Thanks to all who responded. Corey Clingo Sr.

RE: ACM Module

Err, that should read, " The version of the document on my FoxDoc CD is Revision C and it lacks sizing information" I should proofread my stuff. :-( Regards, Alex Johnson 10707 Haddington Houston, TX 77043 713.722.2859 (office) 713.722.2700 (switchboard) 713.932.0222 (fax) [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: ACM Module

The document B0193MK Rev D has sizing information. I'll send Chad a copy. The version of the document on my FoxDoc CD is Revision D and it lacks sizing information. Basically, it is about as fast as a CP-10 and can hold more blocks. The Rev D document says that it can handle only 300 outgoing po

RE: Open-loop detection on analog output cards

We do exactly that. We have a few FBM 4.s where we take the output and feed it back to an AIN block then use an alarm block (differential alarm). Seems to work very well. Dennis Sloan Arizona Public Service -Original Message- From: Loyd Greer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday,

ACM Module

Does anyone on the list have any experience using the Triconex/Foxboro ACM module to pass data between the Triconex TMR PLC and a Foxboro system? We are trying to get some specific information on the module (i.e. throughput, configuration etc..) prior to deciding to buy and install one. We haven

Re: Open-loop detection on analog output cards

Would it be possible to loop the 4-20 ma output through a 4-20 ma input and alarm it in the ain block? Another way might be to add a low value resistor in the loop and monitor a voltage drop across it with an FBM 02.This would take an extra input for each loop. I do not know what type of isolati
